Officially Old

Well, this settles it. I am officially old. I have completed and turned in my application for Social Security.

Though it's been on my radar for every bit of the last decade, it seems just a bit weird to be at my doorstep. I'm already on Medicare, so I suppose the blow has been softened. And I don't live in Canada, either, where their compassionate, socialized medicine will kill you if you get the sniffles.

Yes, that's a dig at you, Canada.

But I'll surely say more on that later. For now, wow. It's really happening. In April, I'll begin seeing money dumped straight into my bank account. It does seem a bit surreal.
